I have never used CREATE ALIAS (except to try out the syntax one time) so I can't help out with that.
I tried creating a view with FETCH FIRST n ROWS which will only work if it is encapsulated in a CTE or subquery.
Examples:
create view teslib.fetchview as
with fetch_cte as (
select * from sysibm.sysdummy1
fetch first 1 row only
)
select * from fetch_cte
OR
create view teslib.fetchview as
select * from (
select * from sysibm.sysdummy1
fetch first 1 row only
) A

Subject: SQL views over multi member physical file
Hi everyone
Before I forget - we are on V5r4
We have a multi-member file (presently 16 members - but can increase) There is a need is to create individual SQL views over each of these members I understand/know about alias's, but from what I have googled/yahoo'ed/searched, it looks like I cannot create a view over an alias Question 1 - is this in fact true?
Question 2 - In creating the alias (or view for that matter), is there a way to limit the alias (or view for that matter) to the LAST n records?
As always - any and all responses gratefully accepted
